3.1
Discussion
Proposed Development is Compatible with Surrounding Land Uses
The subject property is located at the southwest corner of Finch Avenue and
Brock Road. Lands to the north are the Brock Ridge Community Park including
open space associated with West Duffins Creek and are not intended for
development. Lands to the west have been developed for townhouses. Lands to
the south are occupied by existing commemial development. Lands to the east, on
the opposite side of Brock Road are occupied by a police station and land
associated with an existing vehicle dealership.
The subject lands are designated as Mixed Use Areas- Mixed Corridors in the
Pickering Official Plan that requires the-land to be developed at a certain level of
intensity and scale. The subject lands are also prominent from a municipal urban
design perspective. These lands while not within the Downtown Core are located
on the "shoulders" of the downtown and mark a certain transition point as where
the nature and intensity of land use changes. The proposed development would
create a gateway landmark that would help define the different land uses to the
north and south of the subject lands.

Report PD 27-03
Subject: Cougs Investments Limited (A 24/01)
June 5, 2003
Page 5
The proposed site design with the significant building located along the
Brock Road frontage and the townhouses located internal to the site will provide an
appropriate transition of building massing between the proposed development and
the existing townhouse development to the west.
Concern had been expressed by abutting property owners that the massing and
height of the building (seven storeys) were too much for the site. Their preference
would be that the maximum building height be only four storeys with a reduced unit
count. The Planning & Development Department is of the opinion that the
proposed building having a stepped height of seven storeys is appropriate for the
property. The apartment building is located next to the Brock-Finch intersection
and will create the desired focal point feature. On the southern portion of the site
the townhouses have been strategically placed internal to the site so they will abut
the existing townhouses. On the northern portion of the site the apartment building
has been sited 14 metres away from the property line.
3.2 Revision to the Proposed Development is Supported
The major change in the plan relates to the reduction in dwelling units in the
apartment building. A total of 11 apartment dwelling units have been eliminated.
The reduction in units has not significantly altered the apartment building size or
massing. The townhouses remain the same in terms of location and number of
units. In terms of site layout the major change is the incorporation of a road
widening along the Brock Road frontage that has resulted in an adjustment to the
surface parking layout including a reduction in surface parking.
3.3 Proposed Development is LoWer Intensity than Existing Zoning Permits
The proposed use is a reduction in intensity to what the current as-of-right uses
are permitted in the existing zoning by-law. The existing by-law permits
commercial uses including offices, hotel, certain retail and restaurant uses. The
existing zoning also requires the building massing to be greater than the proposed
development as the by-law requires a minimum building of ten storeys and permits
a maximum of 15 storeys.
3.4 Complies with the Regional and City Official Plans
The subject application is consistent with and in general conformity to the
Durham Regional Official Plan and the City of Pickering Official Plan. The
proposed net density of the subject site is 105 units per hectare, which is clearly
within the density range for the Mixed Use Area - Mixed Corridor Area designation
(30 units per hectare to 140 units per hectare). Given that there is a mix of uses in
the immediate neighbourhood, the proposed development of an apartment building
and townhouses is considered compatible and appropriate for the area. The
proposed use conforms to, and is compatible with, the designation and polices of
the Official Plan.

3.5 Intensification in Compliance with Official Plan
The subject application is consistent with and in general conformity with the
principles of Smart Growth. The application proposed appropriate intensification at
an appropriate location. The subject property is located at the intersection of a
Type A Arterial Road and a Type B Arterial Road that is appropriate serviced and
is close to community amenities. Intensification is encouraged at locations that
take advantage of existing infrastructure.
3.6 Technical Matters
Site Access
Site ingress/egress from both Brock Road and Finch Avenue will be designed to
have the least amount of impact on the abutting streets. The Brock Road
ingress/egress must be designed as a right-in/right-out access. The Finch Avenue
driveway will also have to be designed to ensure the level of service on Finch
Avenue is not compromised. These detail design matters can be achieved through
site plan and/or condominium process.
Traffic Study
A Traffic Impact Assessment report was submitted with the revised application.
This study examined the traffic movement that would be generated from the
proposed development and the impact on the existing traffic on both Brock Road
and Finch Avenue. The report recommended that certain road improvement be
undertaken to ensure the existing level of service that is provide by the two streets
is not impacted by the proposed development. These improvements include a
right-in/right-out access from the Brock Road driveway and the existing centre
median on Brock Road be extended. On Finch Avenue the proposal is to re-stripe
the street across from the proposed driveway to create a left turn lane into the site
from the westbound lane. The Region, Police Services and the City have reviewed
the traffic report and revised plan and all have no objection subject to clarification
on certain technical design details that can be concluded during the site plan
approval process if this application is approved.
Fencing/Buffering Required Adjacent to Existing Property
This development is an infill situation where new residential development is being
introduced next to existing development. The design of the plan is such that it
introduces townhouse rear yard conditions, parking and driveways next to an
existing townhouse rear yards. A concern for privacy for existing development was
raised at the statutory public meeting for this application.

Report PD 27-03
Subject: Cougs Investments Limited (A 24/01)
June 5, 2003
Page 7
In order to lessen the impact of new residential development on existing residents,
it is recommended that the developer be required to ensure the existing wood
fence along the western property line is maintained as well as the existing
vegetative screening provided by the existing spruce trees and lilac shrubs. In the
area next to the driveway and parking areas additional . planting may be
incorporated into the final site design to enhance the buffering. The materials for
this landscaping will be determined during the site plan approval stage if the
application is approved.
The rear yard depth for the proposed townhouses that will abut the existing
residential development should be a minimum of 6.0 metres. This is an increase
of the .applicant's proposed 5.0 metres and would match the existing 6,0 metre
yard depth of the existing development.
The increased yard depth in combination with the existing vegetation, fencing, and
additional planting will provide an adequate separation/buffer space between the
existing townhouses and the proposed development that will address the concern
for an appropriate buffer.
Along the southern property line, that abuts the existing commercial proper[y, there
is an existing wood fence and row of mature spruce trees. The condition of the
wood fence will be reviewed during the site plan approval process. If this fence
needs to be replaced the owner would be responsible for the construction of the
new fence. The spruce trees should be assessed and all the healthy trees should
be preserved.
Development Agreement Required
A development agreement between the City and the owner of the lands will be
required to ensure that all matters of interest to the City are protected. This
required agreement, and other development implementation matters, will be
addressed through site plan and/or condominium process.
Sidewalks along Brock Road and Finch Avenue
A sidewalk currently exists along the south side of Finch Avenue and along the
west side of Brock Road. If these sidewalks .are to be altered due to road
widening, the sidewalks will have to be replaced to the satisfaction of the City of
Pickering.

Existing Sales Presentation Pavilion Office
The subject property currently houses an existing sales presentation pavilion office
that is used by the applicant for their developments throughout the municipality.
This use is a permitted use by the existing zoning on the property. It is
recommended that the sales presentation pavilion office not be recognized in the
amending zoning by-law that is proposed for the apartment building and
townhouses. This would result in the sales presentation office use becoming a
legal non-conforming use. When this use ceases operation it could then become
some form of an accessory use to the permitted uses on the property.

ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT APPLICATION A 24/01
COUGS INVESTMENTS LIMITED
(SOUTHWEST CORNER OF BROCK ROAD AND FINCH AVENUE)
¸,
Lynda Taylor, Manager, Development Review, on behalf of Ross Pym, Principal
Planner- Development Review, provided an explanation of the application, as °utlined
in Information Report #25-02.
Gary Templeton, agent for the applicant, advised that they have been working
extensively with staff to meet the Pickering Official Plan policies for the proposed site
plan. He further stated that the proposal is positive as it reduces the area of impact
from what would currently be permitted under the existing zoning, while providing an
attractive development including an apartment building at the corner.
Vic Phillips, 1995 Royal Road, spoke on behalf of the 72 homeowners at 1995 Royal
Road. Mr. Phillips stated that the residents support an amendment to the zoning by-law
but request that only a four story building be permitted, not a seven story structure, that
a buffer zone with green space separating their complex from the new development,
and that a development of similar quality to theirs be constructed. In response to Mr.
Phillip's request, Lynda Taylor confirmed that staff would contact Mary Power to arrange
a resident meeting; once staff have had an opportunity to review agency comments and
to address any staff concerns with the application.
Richard Ward, 3709 Regional Road 9, Orono, stated that he has concerns with potential
traffic problems. He further stated that he was disappointed that the opportunity for a
hotel was being deleted as he felt is was a suitable location. Mr. Ward requested that
this application be held in abeyance until his outstanding complaints with the City,
respecting the applicant, have been resolved.
Gary Templeton, agent for the applicant, stated that they will take any comments
received under advisement and will work with the City to move this application along.

Coughlin Speech
For August 8-2002
f~LANNING AND
Members of the Planning. Department interested parties .... Good Evenin~I am Vic
Phillips one of 72 homeowners at 1995 Royal Road...speaking on behalf of all the
residents of the development called Chateau by the Park.
First we are in favour of an amendment to the zoning bylaw which is required in
order to implement the proposed development by Cougs investment owned by Jerry
Coughlan .... BUT...we ask council and the builder to make some changes to the plan
as described in the diagrams dated July 2-2002.
First and foremost we strongly oppose the proposed seven story apartment building
with 151 dwellingunits. A building of that height would stand out like a monolith in
the area of Brock Road and Finch Avenue...which now has the Rouge system, a
beautiful heavily wooded area with a creek directly across the street to the
North...our unique low rise development to the West and another treed area to the
East with a modern low level attractive police buildlng overlooking the area. A
seven storey building would JUST NOT BLEND into the area. It would stand out
like a sore thumb..~no matter how attractive the exterior. The building would affect
the quality of life in the area...it would block off the view of those who can now look
out at parkland...and would pose additional traffic, noise, and pollution problems.
Royal Road, a now quiet residential street would no doubt see a drastic increase in
traffic as the influx of some three hundred more vehicle~ and. four hundred new
residents move into the development. Not to mention the daily movement of service
vehicles catering to a sudden burst of at least 400 new residents.
We SUGGEST a four storey apartment building of similar quality to our complex
would definitely be more suitable for the area rather than an unsightly taller seven
storey structure...We do not oppose the 30 unit proposed townhouse development.
We understand there is a need for housing in Pickering and we do not oppose
progress, growth, and the increase in tax revenue. We do however ~oppose a 151 unit
high rise...which would affect the quality of life we now enjoy. A four storey
building would mean fewer vehicles, less traffic, less congestion, and no doubt less
crime. We have had one breakin in seven years in our complex .... not because of a
low crime rate in Pickering but because of the police building located directly across
the street. Police have an unobstructed view of our complex which is a definite
deterrent to criminals. This will change to some extent ...but the problem will be
lessened with a four storey building.. NOT with the proposed seven storey dwelling
which would not only block out sunlight but also the view of police officers as they
cruise along Brock Road. I am not whistling dixie on that point. As a crime reporter
for thirty some years in Toronto I can attest to the negative changes which occur in
a low rise neighborhood...sudden]y overshadowed by one large structure. Three
fewer stories will mean less crime, less traffic congestion ,less noise and would allow
the area to retain its quiet beauty. Brock Road is currently the last stop on the
heavily traveled 407 highway .... people entering Pickering now pass by the Rouge
area with an attractive ball park nestled in a wooded area. This is a nice impression
of Pickering..that impression should not be overshadowed by a seven storey
building. This goes beyond the concerns of area residents...Brock Road is a main
entrance into and out of Pickering...it should look good.., in keeping with the
tranquil impression of the area. Already the intersections of Brock Road, Finch
Avenue and Kingston Road are congested during rush hours and is considered a
high accident area according to police. Lets not make it much worse. We don't need
to make the same mistakes as Toronto, Scarboro and other municipalities. Big is not
better.
27
We also request a proper buffer zone between the proposed development and our
complex. Currently a large number of evergreen trees border our property to the
East .... besides being attractive they also act as a sound barrier. We ask that they not
be cut down and we ask that there be breathing space of at least twenty feet between
the proposed parking lot and townhouse development and our complex.
Jerrry Coghlan promised us a development of similar quality and appearance to the
Chateau by the Park back in 1996. He has an excellent reputation as a developer
and we know he will keep his word. We ask that the quality of life we have enjoyed
in the past six years not be compromised by a development of lesser quality.
We now live in a quiet area...where grandchildren come to visit. Children feel safe
along. Royal Road where traffic now is minimal. Crime is almost unheard of, traffic
accidents are a rarity and people are happy. We expect some changes to our
current lifestyle will occur that's a given but lets keep the changes under control.
To sum up...all we want is a four storey building...not a seven storey structure. A
buffer zone with green space separating us from the new development and a
development of similar quality to the one in which we now live.
Thank you

Zoning By-law Amendment Applicatio~ A24/01_../
Cougs Investments Limited~ '
Southwest comer of Brock Road and Finch Avenue
Part of Lot 19, Concession 1
City of Pickering
We are writing w/th respect to the above zoning by-law amendment. Please note that we
were given very short notice of the upcoming meeting on August 8. Although your letter
is dated July 11, 2002, it was only received at our premises on July 19, 2002.
Unfommately, we are on vacation next week and will be unable to attend the meeting.
This timing, at the height of the vacation season, makes it very difficult for many people
to attend. We request that you change the date to September to ensure that the maximum
number of residents in our complex are able to attend.
If the meetLng goes ahead as scheduled, in our absence, we would like to go on record to
indicate our concerns. We are in support of the proposed amendment, w/th the following.
conditions:
that the development be equivalent to or better than our complex at 1995 Royal
Rd., in terms of quality and value of the townhouses, and that the aperient
building be similar quality - our main concern here is protection/enhancement of
property value, given that we own what is considered to be prestige property in
the area
that a thorough traffic study be conducted on the effects of adding 181 units to the
area- specifically, the already congested flow of traffic in mst hourS, morning
and afternoon, will be affected significantly by the development, and we want to
ensure that this is taken into account
A~TAGHMENi #_~,TO
29
that adequate sound buffering between the proposed development and the current
townhouses is provided- to ensure the residents receive the quiet enjoyment of
their backyards
that adequate setback, sound and light buffering between the underground parking
entrance and the property line be provided - people exiting the underground
garage will be pointed directly at the windows of several existing residences
that adequate setback and sound buffeting between the parking lots and the
property line be provided
that adequate setback between the proposed townhouses and the property line be
provided
that the existing greenery next to the fence, including the nicely developed trees,
be maintained.
If you would like to discuss any of the above points with us, please feel free to contact us
at the phone numbers below. As long-time residents of the area, we appreciate your
attention to our concerns and expect that progress regarding this matter will take the
above concerns, and those of other local residents, into account.

Re: Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 24/01
CITY OF PtOKERING
~ENT DEPARTMENT
Dear Sir or Madam:
We are writing in response to the letter sent by Bruce Taylor dated 11-Ju1-02, as we
are unable to attend the upcoming public meeting on 8-Aug-02.
We wish the to go on record with the following comments:
Any change in zoning to the subject property must have a neutral or positive
affect on the quality of life on the residents of Durham Condo Corporation 142.
Any change in zoning to the subject property must have a neutral or positive
affect on the re-sale values of the homes that make up Durham Condo
Corporation 142.
As such, we are very concerned about the proposed plans for the subject property
by Cougs Investments Limited, as their proposed plans have many deficiencies,
which are described below with possible solutions.
Deficiency: The planned driveway entrance and exit are immediately adjacent to
the rear of several homes of Durham Condo Corporation 142. The increased
noise, vibration, and pollution will reduce the quality, of life of residents by
reducing the utility of their rear facing windows, doors, and patios.
Solution: The driveway entrance and exit to the underground parking must not
be adjacent to the property of Durham Condo Corporation 142. Only the
backyards of new town homes should be permitted adjacent to the property of
Durham Condo Corporation 142.
Deficiency: Cougs Investments Limited has been less than open as to their
plans for the property. They have refused to commit to the type of development
(i.e. condominium, rental apartment or freehold) they have planned. They have
refused to comment on the planned price points of units in the proposal. The
construction of apartments, lower price point condominiums, or lower price point
freehold homes, would have an adverse affect on the re-sale values of the
homes of Durham Condo Corporation 142.
34
]PE'I ER & KAREN FORINT
Solution: The City should permit only condominiums on the subject .property,
and these condominiums should be of quality and price points as high or higher
relative to the properties of Durham Condo Corporation 142.
Deficiency: The location of garbage and recycling dumpsters has not been
determined. As such they could be located adjacent to the properties of Durham
Condo Corporation 142, reducing the quality of life of its residents due to noise
and air pollution.
· Solution: Garbage and recycling dumpsters must be located in an enclosure
along the Brock Street side of the subject property.
We believe that the solutions above are fair and reasonable for both the residents of
Durham Condo Corporation 142 and Cougs Investments Limited.
Regards,
Peter Forint

Dear Mr. Pym:
Re:

Cougs Investments Limited
Southwest Corner of Brock Road and Finch Avenue
Part of Lot 19, Concession 1
City of Pickering
This will acknowledge receipt of the above noted application. Authority staff have reviewed the
proposal and now offer the following comments.
It is our understanding that the purpose of this application is to amend the current zoning from
"LCA-9" to permit the development of a residential complex containing an apartment building
having 151 apartment dwellings and 30 townhouse dwelling units.
Authority staff note that the subject property is located entirely within a Fill Regulated Area and
entirely within the Regional Storm Flood Plain associated with Duffins Creek. In accordance
with Ontario Regulation 158 (the Authority's Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways
RegulatiOn), a permit is required from the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA)
prior to any of the following works taking place:
(a)
construct any building or structure or permit any building or structure to be constructed
in or on a pond or swamp or in any area susceptible to flooding during a Regional
storm;
(b)
place or dump fill or permit fill to be placed or dumped in the areas described in the
schedules (i.e. within a Fill Regulated Area), whether such fill is already located in or
upon such area, or brought to or on such area from some other place or places;
The subject property is also located within a designated Special Policy Area (SPA). The SPA
designation recognizes that, for a community which has historically existed in the flood plain,
strict adherence to Province-wide policies prohibiting development in the flood plain would

result in social and economic hardships. Therefore, in accordance with the Authority's .Valley
and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP) and the SPA criteria, development is
permitted in the flood plain provided that flood proofing measures are incorporated and a
permit pursuant to Ontario Regulation 158 is obtained.
As the proposed development is located within the stream corridor, we also require proper
stormwater management techniques and erosion and sedimentation control measures to be
employed both during and after construction in order to ensure that there are no negative
impacts to the downstream areas.
By copy of this letter, please advise the applicant that through the review of the site plan
application, an updated SWM report and sediment and erosion control details will be required.
In addition, through the review of the permit application, TRCA staff will require that the
proposed development is adequately flood proofed.
Based on the above, we have no objections to the approval of the 'subject zoning application,
as submitted.
We trust this is satisfactory. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact
the undersigned.

Inspector Whiteway and Sergeant Chesson;
With regards to our recent meeting concerning the above proposal, I find that as
we had discussed our primary concern is with the driveway onto Brock Road
from the proposed site.
As outlined in the correspondence from Sernas Transtech to Mr. Couglan, and
stated on page 5 (five), there is a need for a raised island in this driveway to
channel vehicles for Right in and Right out access to and from this site.
The' raised island is shown in figure 4 (four) on the last page of the Sernas
Transtech correspondence and just preceding the appendix. The raised island is
not shown or noted on the larger Site Plan drawn by Northgrave Architect Inc.
which causes concem as to whether the raised island will be incorporated into
the plan.
The concern of the writer is, without the island vehicles exiting via the Brock
Road driveway will attempt to make ~eft turns. This would add to the congestion.
dudng rush hour periods and raise the probability of vehicle collisions at this well
traveled and high volume roadway.
Aside from the aforementioned concern after examining the provided
correspondence and plans, I could find no other area of immediate concern with
regards to this site:

We have reviewed the above-noted application and provide the following
comments:
1)
A Construction Management Plan and Erosion and Sediment Control Plan will
be required for this site that will need to address items as indicated on the
attachments provided.
2) A Stormwater Management Report will be required to address servicing and
quality control for the site.
3)
4)
5)
Should an additional lane be required on Brock Road to accommodate the
Brock Road access, we would require the sidewalk (and bicycle path) to
maintain a similar off-set from the curb, as is existing, and so the sidewalk
would need to be relocated accordingly.
When Brock Road is widened to utilize the road widening taken with this
development, the sidewalk will be relocated to 0.3m east of the new west
street line. The proposed parking area north of the sales pavilion appears to
be too close to this street line and could conflict with the sidewalk location.
The location of the balconies on the east side of the southerly 7 store/building
may also conflict with the future sidewalk and/or utility within the road
allowance.
The City of Pickering has recently passed a Fill and Topsoil Disturbance By-
law which restricts certain works on this site until agreements are in place or a
Fill/Topsoil Permit has been issued.

The Municipal Property & Engineering Division is in receipt of the above noted revised
site plans for the above noted property with deduced number of dwelling units.
Our comments of August 6, 2002 (copy attached) remain unchanged. With respect to
this revised application, this Division adds the following comments.
The site plan does not illustrate the recommendations for the right-in/right-out
channelized driveway into Brock Road. Plans must illustrate how the sidewalk
will be accommodated.
The plan indicates no surface vehicular access to the townhouse units for waste
collection, emergency vehicles, etc. A storage building for waste and recycling is'
required in order for the City to provide collection for the townhouse units.
In order for the parking provision to work, there must be forty-three identified
visitors park spaces above grade. This would require some townhouse residents
to park below grade and have access to their-unit. It cannot be determined by
this plan if this is planned.
4. The Traffic impact assessment on Regional Roads will need to be deemed
acceptable by the Region. Reducing Finch Avenue (eastbound to one lane 65m
west of Brock Road will adversely impact traffic flow during peak hours.

City of Pickering
Recommendation:
That Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 3/03, be APPROVED as set out in
the draft by-law attached as Appendix I to Report No. 26-03, to amend the zoning
of the lands to allow for a building to be constructed outside of the 'Build-to-Zone'
and provide a revised parking ratio, submitted by Dineen Construction Limited,
on behalf of the owner, Emix Holding Limited, on lands being Part of Lot 24,
Concession 1 (40R-12678, Parts 6 to 9), City of Pickering.
That the amending zoning by-law to implement Zoning By-law Amendment
Application A 3/03, as set out in Appendix I to Report Number PD 26-03 be
FORWARDED to City Council for enactment.
That Council direct staff to obtain a financial contribution toward future road
construction within or adjacent to the subject property through the Site Plan
Approval process.
Executive Summary: The applicant requests a change to the zoning by-law to
permit a proposed office building to be constructed outside of the 'build-to-zone'
established in the existing by-law, and to revise the parking requirements for the
development. The property is located east of the Smitty's Furniture Mall, west of TNT
Trucking (formerly Schindler Elevator), south of Kingston Road and north of Highway 401
(see Location Map, Attachment #1).
The applicant is proposing a three-storey commercial office building of approximately
4800 square metres of gross leasable floor area (see Attachment #2 - Applicant's
Proposed Plan). For marketing reasons, they wish to site the building close to
Highway 401 and are consequently unable to comply with existing zoning provisions
which require the building to be sited within a specific 'build-to-zone', close to an internal
street corner (see Attachment #3 - Build-to-Zones).

Staff support this amendment, as suitable corner treatment can be achieved through
alternative measures in the site plan approval process, including a landscape feature
area constructed within the corner 'build-to-zone'. Parking requirements suitable for the
proposed development can be achieved through the sharing of spaces on the adjacent
property to the west (Smitty's Furniture Mall). Further, to support future road
construction initiatives in compliance with the Council approved Town Centre West
Guidelines, it is recommended that a financial contribution be required for this purpose
from the developer.
It is recommended that the application be approved, that the draft by-law be forwarded
to Council for enactment, and that the applicant be required to provide a financial
contribution toward future road construction within the Town Centre West
Neighbourhood through the Site Plan Approval process.
Financial Implications:
proposed development.

supports the application, good
visibility from 401 and must ensure
treatment for the future planned
internal road (see Attachment #9);
2.1 Future Road Construction to be partially secured through financial
contribution from the landowner:
The internal road network planned for the Town Centre West Neighbourhood is an
integral component of development in this area and is necessary to adequately
serve the needs of 'future residents and businesses. The system will provide
internal linkage between various access points around the perimeter of the
Town Centre West neighbourhood.
The City of Pickering, through a previously executed agreement with Emix Holdings,
has until June 2015 to acquire specific lands within and adjacent to the Emix lands
for future road purposes (as shown on Attachments #10 and #11 - Roads A & E).
Construction of portions of 'Roads A & E concurrent with this proposed
commercial/office development, (as shown on Attachments #10 and #11 ) would:
· initiate the implementation of the road pattern within the TCW Guidelines;
· contribute to the alleviation of existing congestion at the Dixie Road
intersection (Furniture Mall/Dairy Queen);
· provide existing development to the east of the subject property
(TNT Trucking) with an alternative to address conflicts with their shipping
and receiving activities, directly opposite of the proposed three-storey
office building and its shipping and receiving/refuse area;
· encourage additional development in the area;
· assist with overall site functioning.
Emix Holdings does not agree that road construction should be required at this
time. They advise that a requirement to construct their portion of 'Road A' and
'Road E' adjacent to the subject lands, (two sections, both 10 metres wide)
simultaneous with development of the three-storey.commercial office building will
jeopardize the project's financial viability. However, Emix Holdings has agreed to
secure with the City a financial contribution toward road construction ~vithin or
adjacent to their development area, through the site plan approval process. Emix
requests that its contribution be part of a mutual agreement with the City, requiring
the City to complete road construction upon drawing the security, with any
additional financial costs being the responsibility of the City through future
budgeting.

2.2
Although the construction of municipal roads/portions of roads within the
Town Centre West Neighbourhood would be beneficial to the continuing
development of this area, there are .uncertainties respecting the design and
impracticality of building only portions of roads. Further, assumption of roads by
the City in this neighbourhood at this time would have significant budget
implications including costs for snow clearance, street cleaning, road maintenance,
and construction upgrades.
The Planning & Development Department recommends that the City secure a
financial contribution from Emix and use it for the future construction of roads within
or adjacent to the development area. Also, the City should consider budgeting for
road construction in the Town Centre West area as development progresses, on an
incremental basis.
A landscape structure will adequately meet the requirements of the
'Build-to-Zone' in the Development Guidelines.
The Council approved Town Centre West Guidelines require that a prominent
streetscape be achieved at corner locations through the use of 'build-to-zones' and
this requirement is reflected in the current zoning.
Following an evaluation of the Emix proposal, staff have concluded that a landscape
structure/feature adequately meets the requirements of the 'build-to-zone' set out in
the Town Centre West Development Guidelines. The guidelines state that
'build-to-lines' are to be interpreted as 'build-to-zones'. 'Bui'ld-to-Zones' are
important controls when creating humanly scaled streetscapes. They establish
prominence at street corners and create edges to primary pedestrian routes, both
being important design elements of future streets in the Town Centre West
Neighbourhood.
No amendment is required to the Town Centre West Guidelines as 'build-to-zone'
requirements may be interpreted to be satisfied through the introduction of either a
'structure' or a 'building'. Special landscape features, such as that proposed by
Emix at the corner location, would qualify as a 'structure'.
The current Zoning By-law only permits a 'building' or part of a building to be
located within a 'build-to-zone'. A significant structure may adequately meet the
intent of the 'build-to-zone' within the Town Centre West Guidelines. It is
recommended that the Zoning By-law be amended to permit the requirements of a
'build-to-zone' to be satisfied through the construction of a 'structure' o_Er a 'building',
subject to specific standards including:
· a structure or building within a 'build-to-zone' shall have a minimum and
maximum height;
· a structure or building within a 'build-to-zone' shall cover a minimum
percentage of the length of the 'build-to-zone';

2.3 Parking provisions can be achieved by combining a parking standard over
.both the subject property and the property located to the west.
Through analysis of both existing parking provisions for the site and the City of
Picketing Parking Study, staff have determined that adequate parking will be
available if parking is provided and calculated over both the SC-33 & SC-34 zoned
properties. The abutting property to the west (SC-33) currently provides parking in
excess of the minimum zoning standard. When this zoning standard is applied
over both the SC-33 & SC-34 zones there is adequate parking to comply with
requirements. Consequently it is recommended that the by-law be amended to
require the calculation of parking based on the combined spaces provided over
both the SC-33 & SC-34 zones.

PART OF LOT 24, CONCESSION 1
.(40R-12678, PARTS 6 TO 9)
Geoff Romanowski, Planning Technician, provided an explanation of the
application, as outlined in Information Report #10-03.
Julius DeRooter, on behalf of the applicant, advised that this application has
been submitted requesting relief from site specific conditions including the
placement of the building and number of parking spaces. The by-law requires
the building to be placed at the north end of the site and due to highway
exposure the applicant would like it to be placed on the south portion of the site
close to Hwy. 401. The by-law further requires an additional five parking spaces
but due to the building configuration and landscaping they are requesting relief
from this condition.
Michael Silver, Counsel and part owner of the adjacent property stated their
concern that this application is controlling development of the area and would like
to be part of the process in how this land is developed. He advised that there
has not been any communication with Emix Holdings Ltd.
Julius DeRooter, advised.that this application is for an allowable use, they are
just requesting relief from two by-law conditions.

The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) has reviewed the above.noted site
plan application, received March 13, 2003, and offers the following comments:
This site plan application involves the construction of a three storey office building on the
subject lands, located between Highway 401 and Kingston Road, east. of Dixie Road. A
previous application for a zoning by-law amendment has been reviewed by this office and
preliminary comments were sent to the City of Pickering on March 11,2003,
A preliminary digital data review of the subject, property identified a watercourse and
associated valley on the east side of the subject property which was to be impacted by the
proposed, development. A site visit was thus conducted on April 17, 2003, in order to
determine the extent of the natural feature. Through the site visit, it was determined that the
feature contained little to no stream flow. and no hydrophytic vegetation, and.thus was deemed
to be a relatively inactive drainage swale. That said, this office continues to have an interest in
the stormwater management design for the subject property. While peak flow control is
adequately addressed in the submitted Stermwater Management Report, measures
addressing water quality management have not yet been identified, Technical staff of this
office recommend that an oil and grit separator sized for Level I treatment be included as part
of the stormwater, management design for the site.
While the TRCA promotes further stormwater management review by the City cf Pickering, this
office has 'no objections to the approval of the site plan application, or the zoning by-law
amendment.
By copy of this letter, please advise the applicant that the TRCA has implemented a fee
schedule for the development/planning application review services. This application is subject
to a $150 preliminary analysis fee. For further clarification, the applicant should contact TRCA
Development Services staff.
We trust this should be of assistance. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do
not hesitate to contact the undersigned,

Our Division has reviewed the above-noted application, and suppods the aPplicant's
proposal. The proposed location of the building will make it highly visible from Highway
401, adding to a desired visible cluster of office buildings existing and/or encouraged to
be located along that corridor.
The presence of high quality office facilities in and surrounding the City's Downtown are
an important source of local employment, while providing day population within the City
to utilize and visit surrounding local businesses.
The proposed treatment of the northeast corner of the subject lands is necessary in
order to ensure a quality streetscape along the future planned internal road network for
the Town Centre West neighbourhood, where prestige employment uses will be
encouraged to locate.

- File: Roadded.424
On March 17, 2003, the above-noted developer entered into an Agreement with
the City for the development of 10 residential lots. Prior to the registration of that
Agreement, the City required the conveyance of several parcels of land for road
and turning circle purposes, which once constructed, would provide frontage to
the 10 residential lots.
As the conveyances have all been made to the City and the developer has now
completed the construction of the road and turning circle on these lands to
standards sufficient to permit public access, a By-law should be enacted to
dedicate them as public highway and legally name them Goldenridge Road.

Request for Road Dedication By-Law
- 1441483 Ontario Inc.
- Parts of Lot 5, Registrar's Compiled Plan 819, Pickering,
designated as Parts I and 2, Plan 40R-21838
- Helm Street Extension
- File: Roadded.423
On March 7, 2003, the above-noted developer entered into an Agreement with
the City for the development of one lot and the construction of a road (Helm
Street extension) and turning circle fronting that lot. That Agreement was
subsequently registered on May 5, 2003 as Instrument DR169703.
As the developer has now completed the construction of the road and turning
circle to standards sufficient to permit public access to the newly created lot, a
By-law should be enacted to dedicate them as public highway and legally name
them Helm Street.
Attached hereto is a location map and draft By-law for the consideration of City
Council at its meeting scheduled for June 23, 2003.
